1. Is Resident Evil: Revelations 2 in the works?

The first major action game for the 3DS was Resident Evil: Revelations – a fun, gorgeous title that showed off the power of the new handheld system. The game was so well received that it was later ported to consoles as a digital download. A French website called Gamer In a Boxnoticed two promotional images uploaded to Xbox.com that appear to depict cover art for a sequel to the game. The images have since been removed.

Since the images are directly from the official Xbox website, it’s highly likely that this game is in fact in the works and will be announced soon. The world could use a good new Resident Evil game, as Resident Evil 6 was not so well received.
